We have recently taken a family of six cats from Dahyeh, a heavily bombed suburb of Beirut, saved by @animalslebanon.
This area endured intense airstrikes, and nearly all the buildings were destroyed.
The cats’ building was in ruins, with broken furniture and debris everywhere, but thankfully, it hadn’t collapsed entirely.
The former resident, who had to evacuate, reached out to @animalslebanon to save her cats. Their incredible team was able to locate six of the eight cats. These six survivors include three adults and three kittens, all in a state of shock.
Covered in fleas and blackened by dust and residue from the explosions, they were so dirty and traumatized.
The kittens, Misho (male), Mila (female) & Mocha (female) are about 3-4 months old, while the adults, Zoe, Zuri (females), and Zoro (male), are between 1-2 years old.
Zoro, especially, is severely traumatized. He is so frightened that he injured his paw trying to escape.
Considering all they have been through—the bombs, shaking buildings, and isolation without food or water—it’s heartbreaking but understandable.
Only Zoro has been neutered, and the others urgently need spaying, neutering, vaccinations, deworming, and flea treatment. Along with them, we now care for 31 animals, each needing food, medical care, and basic supplies.
Our resources are stretched thin. The first family of five we rescued received only $50 in donations, which barely covers their basic needs. They need baby formula, pee pads, deworming, flea treatments, vaccinations, and kitten food. The mother also needs to be spayed. We urgently need your help to continue providing for these cats and other rescues from the war zones.
If you can also provide a temporary home, we will supply everything you need. By fostering, you will open space for us to rescue more animals in need.
